LILIUM CONVALLIUM wan. M a ARVLW Among the many features of our institutinn, the school library deserves more recogni- tion than any other. It is undoubtedly not only a most useful, but an entirely indispensable part of our school. In the beginning the boo s were few and magazines still more scarce. All this has changed. The library has now approximately 1000 volumes, and is divided into three divisions, known as the Daly Library, gift of Rev. W. A. Daly; Albers Library, gift of Mr. Wm. Albers; Barron Library, gift of Mr. Barron. 0 Several volumes from Mr. Moritz were th3 last addition to our library.

3 LILIUM CONVALLIUM ST. DOMIN'CS CONVENT AND IMMACULATA ACADEMY. The Departments of Immaculata Academy Our High School offers, besides the special courses such as religion, domestic science, art and music, full academic work in English, foreign languages history, mathematics and science. All students in whatever department they may be enrolled, are required to take before graduation three years of English and one year of United States history. Work from the academic departments. moreover, supplements the work of all the special courses. The faculty strongly recommends that every student, whatever his specialization may be, take two years of a foreign language, two years of mathematics, one year of science, and one year of history, art or music, in addition to the required work already mentioned. SO we see the academic courses supplement the work of the special departments and all together make up our splendid broad High School curricule. The Commercial Department in our school offers an excellent opportunity to the young ladies of our school to become independent and self-respecting. We feel that our depart- ment is exceptionally good in that it gives the benefit of commercial work to those Who are taking other courses. In this way we all profit. Those who are taking the classical and scientific courses get a knowledge of the requirements of the business world, and those Who are preparing for business life get training in other courses, such as English, history and languages. This is of. as much importance to a stenographer as the mere mechanics of the profession. We have a four-year course, two years of preparatory work in regular subjects and two years of commercial trainind. The music course is planned to furnish those taking it with a foundation for future work, should they desire to specialize in music, and With an added means of cultur e for those who study it for its aesthetic value.

LILIUM CONVALLIUM J On Wednesday afternoon, May 9, the Immaculata Academy Literary Club held the last literary session of the year. The meeting was called to order by the dlctator, Clara Jacques, who announced the following program: How to Make School Clubs Successful ............................ Frances Gansneder Getting Interested ................................................................ Margaret Friedhoff Are School Societies Worth While? ................................ Agnes Pottage The I. A. Cfs ........................................................................ Helen Henry The Signs of the Times ...................................................... Flora Clark Newmants Place in Literature ........................................ Monica Morley All the talks were good, but particularly the dictators With a matter-of-fact, straight- forward style, Miss Jacques spoke of the importance of appreciating a good thing when we had it, and briefly reviewed the clubts literary work during the past year. Kil Kare Kodak Klub One of the most flourishing 0f Immaculata Academyts clubs this past year was the Kil Kare Kodak Klub. Its activities, however, were lessened because of the inclement weather prevalent during the entire period of the two semesters. It was necessary, therefore, that most of the expeditions planned be called off, and as a result but few pictures were taken. The weather, however, did not prevent its other activities. Many points concerning the arts of photography and developing were explained, and instructive papers were prepared and read at the meetings. Delightful luncheons were held at the members homes; ferns were gathered and potted for the Academy collection, and a picture is now being framed for the hall. Many of the pictures in this book were taken by the Kil Kare Kodak Club, whose offi- cers for the year are: Miss Agnes Pottage, president; Miss Frances Gansneder, Secretary, and Miss Margaret Friedhoff, treasurer. Opus Acus Club Although the name of our club is self-explanatory, a word concerning our purpose will not be amiss. Primarily our aim is to help the poor and needy by spending our recreation hours in needlework for their benefit. Any girl in the school is eligible for membership. At our first meeting early in the term the following Officers were elected: President ......................................................................
